Having Insurance Doesn't Guarantee A Mental Health Appointment
Original: Having Insurance Doesn’t Mean You Can Get A Mental Health Appointment
New research from Ohio State University finds that having health insurance does not guarantee access to mental health care. Many insured patients struggle to book appointments because therapists and psychiatrists do not accept their plans, are not taking new patients, or have long wait lists, leaving coverage on paper but not in practice.
Why now: New research highlights a gap between insurance coverage and actual access to mental health care, resonating amid ongoing concerns over the mental health crisis.
